It's ironic that those articles continue to harp on stubborn head coaching when stubborn head coaching is what gave KW3 as long of a leash as he had as a feature back before they finally pulled the plug on it.

Walker finished as the #12 RB in PPG last year in PPR format?

Ahead of guys like:
Chase Brown
Breece Hall
Bucky Irving

Charbonnet, on the same team, was 32nd.

Uh, is Mike Macdonald playing fantasy football?

The point is the article says coaches are being stubborn by not giving KW3 a bigger workload. But KW3 got a bigger workload each of the last two years and performed much worse, and had lots of injury issues. They were stubborn in allowing him to keep that role as long as they did, which is a point I harped on all offseason. Everyone here kept saying "the coaches have shown time and time again that KW3 is the feature back". My whole point was that was just stubborness, and eventually they would probably change their mind and reduce his workload, which they did.

They finally stopped beating their head against the "let's make KW3 a feature back!" approach and have gotten better results by abandoning it. The article claiming that keeping him in a timeshare is stubborness is ridiculous, because they already tried 2 years of feature back KW3 and it didn't work, and it was only stuborness that kept him in that role for as long as it did.

Ok, let's take fantasy and opinions out of it.

2025:
Player A - 4.5 yards per rushing attempt.
Player B - 2.8 yards per rushing attempt

Those are facts. Who is more productive? Or "better results"?
Who should be getting more carries from the coaching staff.

Aren’t you the same guy who refused to give any credibility to the previous 2 seasons because of what the production showed?

Do you understand that the guy who gets the short yardage/goal line work is going to see their ypa suffer as a result?

OK, this is pointless. Have a great day
